Proposed text

—(1) Subject to section 40(3) of the Act, no weighing or measuring instrument shall be affixed with a stamp unless the Authorised Verifier or inspector to whom it is submitted for inspection and testing is satisfied that the weighing or measuring instrument —(a)has been issued with a letter of pattern approval under section 8 of the Act;(b)is of such type and material as will not, in use for trade, facilitate fraud;(c)is sufficiently strong to withstand the wear and tear of its intended use in trade;(d)is complete; and(e)is within the maximum permissible errors specified in the Second Schedule for the weighing or measuring instrument.(2) Where a weighing or measuring instrument is to be marked or impressed with a stamp, it shall not be so marked or impressed unless —(a)it is provided by the manufacturer with a plug or stud or seal of soft metal or other approved material approved by the Controller on which the stamp may be marked or impressed;(b)that plug, stud or seal —(i)is of a size that will enable it to be marked or impressed;(ii)is designed so that the stamp marked or impressed on it may be obliterated in accordance with regulation 12;(iii)is designed so that tampering with it would result in noticeable and irreparable damage to the plug, stud or seal; and(iv)by undercutting in some other suitable manner, is made irremovable.(3) Unless the Controller otherwise allows, a new weighing or measuring instrument shall not be stamped unless it has legibly and indelibly marked on it the pattern approval number relating to that weighing or measuring instrument.
